2 cups bulger wheat
8 cups boiling water
1 cup minced parsley
1/2 cup minced mint
1/2 cup minced scallion with 2 inches of the tops
1 1/2 cups chopped tomato
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
freshly ground pepper
Put the wheat into a large pot or mixing bowl and pour the water over it. Cover and let stand for two to three hours, or until the wheat is light and fluffy. Drain off excess water and shake the wheat in a strainer until it is very dry. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the wheat and stir until thoroughly mixed. Chill for at least one hour before serving.
